Benefits of technology

[0010] The present invention allows decreasing a processing load on the printer side for generating print data from the contents of an HTML document whose layout is written in a language that is not strictly stipulated and processing the print data effectively.

Problems solved by technology

In an element tree obtained by analyzing the HTML file, interference often arises between an element block that had already been arranged and an element block that is to be printed, relating to the arrangement of the element block that is to be printed.
For example, layout processing for converting the contents into print data is heavy-load processing, since the layout processing requires very large memory resources for holding element blocks.
The physical disorder and the disturbance often arise due to the limited size of a recording medium.

Embodiment Construction

[0044] An embodiment of the present invention is described below.

[0045] A printer according to the embodiment will be described with reference to the attached drawings.

[0046] This embodiment will be described based on the extensible Hyper Text Markup Language (XHTML) 1.1™ decided by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and a specification decided by the Cascading Style Sheet 2.0 (CSS2.0™).

[0047] Further, a “node-link structure” that will be described in this embodiment denotes a structure including a plurality of items, where each of the items can be divided into a node and a link, and each of the links is related to at least two nodes. The relationship between the node and the link is that between elements on the basis of the node path and the link between the elements.

[The Configuration of System]

[0048]FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a printing system according to the embodiment.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 1, a printer 30 functioning as an image-forming device according to the ...

Abstract

To select an element block from an element tree obtained by analyzing a structured document and arrange the element block into a page in a simple and appropriate manner. First, a pointer for referring to a next previous element block is provided. Secondly, page-break processing corresponding to the type of contents of the element block is performed.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to an image-forming device and particularly relates to a technology suitable for printing contents distributed via data communications including digital-data broadcast, the Internet, and so forth. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Hitherto, there have been proposed printers that can reduce the size of an output image of the contents of an HTML file, change or rotate the orientation of the output image, and ignore a line-feed prohibition instruction and / or lateral-width specification, where the lateral width of the output image is larger than the size of a recording medium. [0005] In the case of the above-described printer, where page-break part of the output image includes characters written into the HTML file, a line including the above-described characters is inserted into image information that is generated, as the layout of a succeeding page. [0006] In an element tree ...
